I Must Write

Wow, even more new stuff. This was the last one written and is the shortest. I guess my creative spurt was fading fast. As was Washed Away this one came out and I did not go back over it so roughness prevails once again. As always I'm sure Tommy will get ahold of these and shrink them down to their essence. This ones exists somewhere in between the other two. Monotony was very personal, Washed Away was very general and then there is I Must Write. It's how I feel many a night or day. Some days I am able to get it down and others, well, life intrudes and wins out over creativity at times. That's life.

I can’t get any sleep tonight

My head is filled with ideas

Swarming through my eyes

My brain won’t relent

Writing as fast as possible

Still there are parts that I forget

To lie still and do nothing

Goes against the grain

My mind is inflamed

Of what or where could be

Half dream half guided story

Imagination has taken over

Am I wishing for this misery

Entertaining creative fancy

Cognitive powers on full charge

To exist I must write
